President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday he was picking Dr. Mehmet Oz to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Trump said in a statement that Oz, who unsuccessfully ran for the Senate two years ago, would work closely with Health and Human Services Secretary-designate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “to take on the illness industrial complex, and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake.”
“Dr. Oz will be a leader in incentivizing Disease Prevention, so we get the best results in the World for every dollar we spend on Healthcare in our Great Country,” added Trump, 78. “He will also cut waste and fraud within our Country’s most expensive Government Agency, which is a third of our Nation’s Healthcare spend, and a quarter of our entire National Budget.”

Good, the fraud is hundreds of millions
If he’s going to take on the Matt Gaetz battle, the Rfkjr battle, the Tulsi battle and the Hegseth battle we can gice him Oz at Medicare. I’m not saying he’s a bad pick but if you are truly concerned you should see it that way.
As we move into 2025, I have braced for the worst year for seniors yet. Insurers can’t break even so the money is coming out of seniors pockets more in 2025 than ever before.
I’m not sure that this position requires Senate confirmation.
It might work out ok…I think Trump’s picking people with nothing left to lose. Remember, “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose”(“Me and Bobby McGee,” Janis Joplin).
They’re already unpopular, perhaps a little flaky, but they’ll shake things up even if they don’t last long.
AARP will spend millions to oppose him.
This is a great goal — emphasizing wellness and prevention instead of illness. Of course, illness is a big moneymaker for BigMed HMOs and hospitals. Consequently, the treatment protocols are now encouraging illness. I’m not the only vax resistor who had to fight hard during the plandemic to get even routine care and exams.

Because appointing nihilists as cabinet secretaries is good for Americans?
“Not sure how I am feeling about this.”
I know what you mean.
Come on, Mr. Trump. I don't know who advised you but this is, frankly, a poor choice.
Good, may they go bankrupt!
Hmmmm, I wonder if vannity put him up to this.
I'm guessing sean vannity.
Same here
He is WAY too left of center and just plays both sides to his $$ advantage. Poor choice
You seem to have a vested interest in the status quo aka an axe to grind.....
The Left, why didn’t we think of this?
Then they’ll trash him for helping Trump.
The way it looks to me, pseudoscience is the bulls*** lies we were sold about all the wonderful drugs for years-and it got worse with the Wuhan virus with the ventilators and big pharma wonder drugs and the not-a-vaxx that we were told would save lives-NOT! As other naturalists did, I avoided it all, bought some Ivermectin, took extra supplements and kept my health. I’d much rather watch someone like Dr Oz take a fire ax to the system and its billions than have a “mainstream” doc like scarf lady or Fauci enabling big pharma ad nauseum-they are the reason people have been getting fatter, sicker and more dependent on dangerous drugs for the last 40 years-bastante...
Me neither. Not understanding the pick.
